<p>Is it bad to apply to law school from the same university your college is in?
e.g. Yale undergrad -> Yale law school (<em>sigh</em>)</p>
<p>In my school's case, nearly 10% of the law school is composed of former undergrads. However, given that so many students from the undergrad apply, the acceptance rate is actually lower.</p>
<p>On the other hand, students who probably have no buisness applying are sending in applications just because.</p>
<p>Nothing bad about it. Just be aware that being an undergrad at a university does not, in and of itself, usually add any advantage to admission to the university's law school.</p>
<p>All things being equal -- and they're usually not -- it would be slightly better to attend a different law school. e.g. if you're choosing between two similarly-ranked, similarly-good-fit law schools, you should pick the one where you didn't do undergrad. But that's a pretty rare scenario. It would be a good reason to pick Michigan over Virginia or vice-versa, for example.</p>
<p>While I wish you much luck, I think you should wait to see where your transfer applications are accepted before you start to worry about this.</p>
<p>Yale likes people from HYP etc, though their admissions system is erratic. Some schools such as Harvard and NYU certainly favor their own undergrads. NYU undergrad has the second most people at NYU law. Harvard has the most, and there law school class is 30% Harvard undergrad or something if I recall.</p>
<p>I'm sure the better the undergrad school, the higher the % of their law school is composed of graduates...if that makes sense. I mean, for example, of course Harvard Law is composed of a high % of Harvard graduates, because they had one of the most rigorous undergrad educations.</p>
